The Prime Minister's responding to nationwide protests over the Government's pay equity changes

Protestors have turned up outside Ministerial offices around the country, in opposition to the Government's legislation, halting pay equity claims and putting a higher threshold to raise them.

Chris Luxon says Caucus had a good conversation around the plan, and its important they did this quickly to bring clarity to employers.

Luxon's added that making the budget add-up is not the "primary reason" they're doing this.
